@MDKlaas But, generally speaking you say and show nothing about what happens in the Pacific, even though the expansion there is very significant over the last 200M years.
@Andrewlohbihler Umm, no. The Pacific Ocean actually has a rather uncertain date of origin... It's almost a meaningless question, as it formed from the remains of the Panthalassic Ocean after the breakup of Pangea, and has been shrinking since the rift that created the Atlantic formed. It's the Atlantic Ocean that has grown during the time period covered on this video, and the video shows it just fine.
@MDKlaas So you are effectively ignoring the age data collected from the Pacific ocean floor that shows youth and rift expansion in the past 200 million years, similar to the Atlantic. This shows that you are cherry picking your data to fit your wrong interpretation.
@Andrewlohbihler I don't know why you're being so adamant about something you clearly have a very poor understanding of, but the fact that sea floor spreading creates new ocean floor does not mean that the ocean as a whole is growing larger. In the case of the Pacific subduction is simply proceeding more rapidly than the spreading, hence the ocean is shrinking.
@MDKlaas Clearly your belief in a shrinking Pacific is based 100% on subduction, which has NOT been proven to happen. Neither has magna convection proven to happen, just an assumption. You may site some drilling "test results" and magna convection simulations, and flaunt your "phd" as evidence that you are right. Lucky for you, though, all evidence to prove you right (or wrong) is buried under the crust.
@Andrewlohbihler Got it. Now that we've established you're an expanding-Earther, I encourage anyone reading this comment thread to visit this page: geology.about.com/od/platetectonics/a/Expanding-Earth-Animation.htm
Andrew Alden's history and critique are a great way to learn about where we start in the scientific process and when we have to leave bad ideas behind. Expanding Earth is one of those bad ideas.
@Andrewlohbihler, thank you for your comments. You've been a real pant-load.
@MDKlaas Well actually I don't consider myself an "expanding earther" however, I simply try to examine the Pacific ocean floor data critically, and not assume that the tired arguments of Plate Tectonic theory are the whole truth. I have studied magma convection and my knowledge of convection currents in simulation and experiment do not convince me that this is the way the Earth works. I smell a rat, but EE does not smell better.
@sentinel12456 Well, kind of, yeah. Due to the Philippines' location on plate boundaries, tectonics have pushed the land up out of the sea floor. Also, many of the islands are of volcanic origin, so they also erupted out of the sea.
@sentinel12456 That's Kinda Offensive since Im am partly from the Philippines and was actually came from what Bangkok and Thailand is now so the Philippines didn't come out of thin air!
@BrandonSausage Woah! Sorry! I am legitimately from Philippines and thank you for clearing what my eyes cannot see. I actually live in the Philippines and I was just saying what I thought about what was displayed in the video.
@BrandonSausage how is that at all offensive. did you even watch the video? it appears as if it came out of nowhere, you are a fucking idiot, and the fact that you somehow took offense to his comment makes no sense what so ever.
from where it begins at 0:01, that is what it will look like in like a million years

So your map says that Austrailia was NEVER part of South America. This is why you are wrong !!

@Andrewlohbihler Both South America and Australia were part of Gondwana after the breakup of Pangea. This video actually reveals that fairly well.
